00:00Okay, so if you've ever tried building an LED driver and found yourself drowning in individual
00:04resistors, you already know why network arrays are a lifesaver and today I'm breaking down the
00:09top 5 resistor network arrays for LED drivers on the market right now, with real prices and
00:14real sales numbers, so stick around because number 1 is honestly a steal.
00:18First up, and this one's kind of a no-brainer, we've got a 100-piece SMD network resistor
00:23array pack covering both 0603x4 and 0402x4 packages, with values spanning everything
00:29from 10 ohms all the way up to 4,701.
00:33It's $2.31, it's already sold nearly 5,000 units, and it holds a perfect 5-star rating,
00:39and honestly, for anyone prototyping LED driver boards, that kind of variety for that price
00:44is basically a must-have in your parts pin.
00:47Next, the 50-piece 9-pin A09-103 resistor network, that's the 10K Zip 9-Zip package, and these
00:54are new original parts with free shipping at $3.70.
00:57What I love here is the 2.54-millimeter pin pitch, it drops straight into a breadboard
01:02or through-hole layout, and with almost 4,700 sold and a 5-star average, you're getting reliable,
01:07current limiting precision for LED strings without gambling on sketchy parts.
01:12Then we've got the 20-piece A09 assortment with resistance values from 1K up through 4.7K,
01:18all in that 9-pin network format for 325.
01:21This one's sitting at a 4.9 rating across more than 4,500 sales, and the real selling
01:26point is the range 1K, 1.5K, 2K, 2.2K, 3K, 3.3K, 4.7K, which covers pretty much every
01:35LED current limiting scenario you'll run into, so you can dial in brightness without ordering
01:3910 different single values.
01:41Fourth on the list is another value pack, this time the 1-8th Watt A09 series with ratings
01:46like 101, 221, 331, 471, 511, 102 up through 104J, including those handy 1.5K, 2.2K, and
01:5710K options, priced at just $229.
02:00It's sold over 4,400 units with a perfect 5-star score, and for LED driver work, that 1-8
02:06Watt
02:06rating gives you solid thermal headroom when you're pushing a bit more current through
02:10your limiting networks, great bang for your buck.
02:13And finally, number 5, honestly the budget champion of the list, 0603x48 pin 4 resistor
02:194D03 chip networks in a 3216 1206 footprint, 5% tolerance, spanning from 0 ohms all the way
02:26to 1 meg, including all your go-to LED values like 100R, 1K, 10K, 2.2K, 4.7K, and 47K.
02:35It's $1.22, it's sold over 4,000 pieces, and with a 5-star rating, it's the cheapest,
02:40most flexible way to stock up, so if you're only buying one thing today, this is probably
02:44it.
